Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Um, is someone around to help me out? To save my brand-new monitor from being hurled through a wall?

Open the window first.

It's too cold. I'm just going to throw it through the interior wall. Maybe my neighbor can use it.

What's the problem?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I bought a nice big new monitor. It told me it would work best if I reset the display to 1680x1050 at 60 Hz refresh rate. With some scuffling I figured out how to do this.

Now all the fonts are too small, and webpages that used to take up the whole screen are centered cozily in the middle, and I can't read anything without squinting.

I swear, I don't have the energy to figure out anything else. I'm ready to scream. What do I do?

Are you using Windows XP?

It might also help to turn on Clear Type: [link]

I did all that... I already have Clear Type turned on too. The fonts on my desktop are big enough; it's the fonts in the webpages that're killing me. And the size of the webpage display. I'm trying to fix it in Tools->Internet Options, but no luck.

Wait... I set the display back to Windows Classic instead of XP... that seems to have done soemthing positive.

I hate Windows. Have I mentioned this?
